Why should someone use this app over the native client?
- First-class support for archiving, starred emails, and labels
- No more broken threads when replying to emails
- Proper server-side search functionality with support for advanced search operators
- Support for multiple From addresses
- Support for meta-labels (e.g. Primary, Social, Priority)
- Instant toast notifications for new emails
- Night mode option for toast notifications
- Mark emails as spam option
- Support for inline replies (plain text only)
- Left/right flick gesture support for navigating through a folder
- Properly display long HTML emails
- Concatenate all email accounts under 1 unread counter on the main tile or the lock screen
- Custom tile colors for account tiles
[IMPORTANT] Device requirements:
- Windows 8.1/RT 8.1 only
Security & Privacy:
- The application only connects directly to Gmail servers (can be easily verified) and your password is never stored locally. It is as simple as that. The authentication process is no different than logging into Gmail through your device's web browser.
